In response to Mike, you wouldn't find the source code for the Dropbox
daemon in any release, as it is proprietary (but still distributable, hence
non-free). However, Dropbox's Nautilus plugin is open source, and licensed
under the GPLv3 (Rian, please correct me if I'm wrong). Ivan's original
Dropbox package in Debian never included the Nautilus plugin though.

I'm a Dropbox + Debian user (and aspiring packager/contributor), so I would
be interested in adopting and maintaining this package if Ivan no longer
wants to take care of it. I'm very much new at Debian packaging; I've
learned the basics during Google Code-In a month ago, but I would definitely
appreciate the help of anybody with more experience, and I would also need a
sponsor to upload my package once it's done. I'm willing to put in the time
necessary to ensure that debian/copyright is compliant with the Debian
Policy, but again, I'll need some guidance to do so.
